sram RED btw are the price different between colours?

ATX always sounds lame to me, sounds ciplak. XTC sounds cooler.

Oh, ive seen epicon fork being able to change length between 100mm - 140mm with some tools. Does it apply to all epicon forks or certain model/year only?

Link please! How much is this?

Bikepro open till what time today? Need my fork to be installed.

Yeah, I guess the fork is cut evenly from the looks of it. Haven't check throughly. Rm50 workmanship cutting the fork, adjusting brakes.

What tiada gila?

Oh hahaha no mad. Yeah nomad. Testing bike. Later take picture

Yeah feels expensive right? But i feel bikepro better than ksh?

Aiyaa i didnt know ma. Done done rm50 already. I thought like rm20 only. Me not rich at all.

Cause i not sure how to pasang the fork. Tak mau take risk ler.

Haha, next time i go find your father.

Eh how many inch handlebar you guys use? my 29 inch feels too long. So awkward. My previous bike 24 inch only. Should i cut shorter?

I think 29" too long for me, hands feel numb :S

Few initial thoughts from first short ride
1) 29" bar too wide for me, probably push the grip shorter abit first to get a better feel before cutting it.
2) tyres 2.5, too wide? Feel like getting 2.1, good or bad?
3) DHX 5.0 feels quite plush but havent get the feel of what the hype is about fullsus frame yet
4) Hope pro hub is noisier than i expected creates alot of attention.
5) Not sure its because of the angle of the tube or the length of the fork, makes the bike feels bigger.
6) Can somebody teach me what is the functions of the dials on the fork? Im using 2012 Fox float 160mm FIT RLC. I know the bottom red one is rebound speed. correct? Then the blue dial on top? low-speed compression(blue dial) this one is to increase or decrease the compression rate, correct? what about lockout force(black dial) and another dial in between the 2 dials?

Added on November 12, 2011, 2:55 amWah, 31 inch? I try to see if i can get used to 29 inch first, if not think need to cut it shorter

From what i read longer = stable, shorter = more control?

2.5 feels comfortable but like too heavy and draggy. I havent tried full workout yet ma

I think it got to do with the angle of the tube, makes the tires seems more forward, then the 2.5 tires makes it looks bigger too. And the handlebar dont feel natural to me, too long for now. Makes the cockpit stretch to be bigger. Before this i only use 24 inch handlebar.

previous bike top tube shorter by 2-3cm only so that couldnt be the problem right?

Before this i use 100mm fork only, suddenly jump to 160mm not used to it la, feels high I probably need to place the grip few inches inwards to try to get a different feel first. Anyway got the whole bike for 17124840 rupiah so im not complaining much

Wah taiko xandman also use 2.35 only. Me too much already with 2.5 LOL dont tempt me with something i cant afford la, RC4 looks banyak syok

Yeah shorter = more responsive/faster action.

Yeah. Too bad im not used to such long handlebar.

Add power handlebar + traction control = win!

Depends are you brave or are you not at the time Brave stop and face the dog( always works for me) Not brave pedal as fast as you can( usually dont work for me because no matter how fast you pedal, the dog will be right beside you )

Lol raju buy titanium bag(James bond style), cannot compare with your average cloth bag. Anyway i've seen angah selling the bag for rm250

Rm250 is including postage. So quite ok I guess. Check out the pictures in his facebook page.

Yeah, its written RM250. I have no idea what the market price is. Thinking of getting one too so i can bring back hometown but rm250 i rather get a nicer helmet.

reasonable price rock shox i guess. Fox price not reasonable at all Anyway state your budget and cycling purpose then they can recommend you better.

What fork are you using now? with 700 a 2nd hand fork might be a good idea but that depends what you upgrade from i guess?

Yeah definitely not suitable for air travel. I guess its more of a transport bag when travel by car/bus? Sayang weh let those people throw my bike up the plane. Technically its still a bag, you can carry your bike around, just not a very thick bag. Haha.

Dont think there is any bike shop open on sunday in sk or puching.

I suggest getting few extra tubes so you can change it yourself. I wanted to get a few spares too when got the chance. Mandatory to put in box? I see. Never knew. What bike you brought back here?
